Talk:Maman (sculpture)

Maman in NYC
New Yorkers and Co. (myself included) had the distinct pleasure of enjoying these sculptures at the foot of 30 Rockefeller Plaza circa 2001. (I wish I had photos.) Thus may I suggest mention of NYC (coincidently the adopted home of Mme. Bourgeois) be included in the last line along with the other cities.Evensteven2000 (talk) 13:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Temporary location - Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, Japan, 2012 – 2013 - False information
The article cites Roppongi Hills as a temporary location for a "Maman" installation. There is no source for this.

I believe that this is false. The "Roppongi Hills" location is the same as "the base of Mori Tower," which is the site of the permanent installation since 2003 or so.

A source used on this page is no longer valid/correct
Footnote 1 is used four times on this page. It used to point to an informational page about this sculpture on the website of the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa (http://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artwork.php?mkey=101000). But that link doesn't go directly to the work anymore -- it forwards to a search page on the National Gallery site. I'm not sure how to correct this because:


 * The new version of that page no longer has the necessary details that were relied on for the footnote (e.g. it used to list cities the sculpture has toured, but no longer has those details);
 * The wayback machine stored the old page, but I don't know if Wikipedia pages can reference the Wayback Machine for references; and
 * The National Gallery has a PDF file with some information, but not enough.

I'm unfamiliar with best practices for this on Wikipedia, but it might be better to find new sources entirely. Kaplanmyrth (talk) 23:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
